Jarrad Marshall Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 G'day Everyone, Thank you all for the wonderful feedback on our Eagle County Airport previews. Suffice to say, there is a flurry of work going on in the background as the beta testers put the product through it's final paces; in fact I believe Emmsie might be be checking in with his traditional set of screenshots in the not too distant future Before he does though, I have a few bits and pieces I would like to showcase - a combination of areas requested by you, and a few other features not previously shown. Of course, there are some features and components that we'll leave for you to discover on your own! If you are considering purchasing a copy of KEGE when it is released, it is vital that you update your ORBXlibs to the latest version - found here. Core components of KEGE rely on this update, and in order for it to display properly you will need to run the following two tasks: 1. Go to fullterrain,com/support and download the latest version of the ORBX Libraries 2. Once installed, open FTX-Central via the shortcut on your desktop, select the Global region and press apply. This will cycle and update core autogen files to the latest versions. This animated gif (sorry about the loading time!) showcases a small section of the updated terrain outside of the photoreal coverage area. Always one of the more subtle elements of our Global Airports, the modifications to surrounding landclass, mesh, seasonal variations and some vector components such as roads and waterbodies provide the necessary transition from the underlying default terrain (with Global Base textures, of course!) to the more defined photoreal areas. Those who fly regularly around Colorado may have noticed the poor quality of the default landclass, and whilst not exhaustive by any means, there was a fair amount of work to the LC around KEGE to resolve some of these issues. Displayed below is a comparison shot of the Glenwood Springs area west of KEGE. Those of you with a keen eye may also note the updated landclass work to mountains and mesas along the horizon, to the far east of the coverage zone. Cheers!

TigerTigerM Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Jarrad Amazing amount of fine detail. Superb work. I see you are based in Perth. Did you visit Vail to gather your material? If not, you must have some excellent sources TTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breeze Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 The default LC is really bad. Amazing work Jarrad! I'm glad you're still working North America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominique Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Very interesting comparison. Hopefully OpenLC NA US will bring us that kind of convincing landclass map all over, so important for the suspension of disbelief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jarrad Marshall Posted August 29, 2015 Author Share Posted August 29, 2015 Thanks very much guys, for those of you that have picked up a copy, I hope you get many enjoyable simmer hours out of it I see you are based in Perth. Did you visit Vail to gather your material? If not, you must have some excellent sources Thanks TTM, I am indeed based in the most beautiful city in the world (said without any bias, of course!). Unfortunately I have not visited the Eagle-Vail area in real life - in fact it has been the first airport I have done in quite a while that I have not visited prior. I was lucky to have some excellent help from a couple of the team members - Alex Goff was very generous with his time by venturing out to the airport to take some source photos, and Todd Harrell also did quite a bit behind the scenes to arrange for some additional photos to be taken. I should also point how helpful many locals were - in addition to staff at Eagle County Airport and Vail Valley Jet Center (who were both generous with their time and expertise), a couple of local pilots also offered answers to some more intricate questions I had about the runway signage. Cheers, Jarrad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Jarrad Considering you didn't get on site, an amazing effort. Well done. I trust Costco paid you a product placement fee to appear at the airport?
